The Arizona Coyotes acquired Alex Tanguay as reverse-rental in the trade deadline deal that sent former first round pick Mikkel Boedker to the Avalanche.
The acquisition was not particularly heralded.
Fans were down on his age and apparent lack of production versus the previous season’s 22-goal, 55-point output.
Much talk centered around the worth of the two prospects the Coyotes had acquired. Kyle Wood and Conner Bleackley were the hot topics of discussion due to their lack of NHL contracts and research into their potential upside.
Tanguay himself had some interesting things to say about joining the Arizona Coyotes.
